Good luck at the casino. I love going, but don’t get to often.
I was born and raised in PA. New Stanton, Pa. Known fondly as Exit 8 on the pike.

A black dem afraid to vote yes for impeachment is quite telling.

As with Clinton, a censure would be consequence free and therefore meaningless.

Moreover, one Constitutionally separate coequal branch really has no standing to censure another branch. It would be like the Vice President demanding to vote on a Supreme Court case.

The censure would be completely partisan.

The Republican Senate should immediately censure the house for the partisan exercise in response.

They are going to cencer Trump for something Biden did? If Whoraldo-witz report in December isn’t a blockbuster, Trump should just nuke the Government and declassify everything.

Interesting. This from an AA female from a 90% democrat district in Detroit. She’s got the job for as long as she wants it so she could vote for impeachment with impunity but now she says maybe a “censure” would be the appropriate action. I see a big “tell” here.

“I’m from Michigan, if I could voted against her (not in her district) I would vote all DemoRATS and make the H of R RED again.”

Where is the bunny with the pancake on it’s head when you need it? I don’t understand your post at all.

Good to hear. What did he say/do?

He said he would talk about it with Satan.

A censure would be an empty gesture. President Trump would rightly see it as a victory and the Democrats’ base would know it pales in comparison to impeachment.

There would be a similar failure if the House democrats vote to Censure and not one Republican goes along with it.

Wouldn’t that also make the dems appear partisan and petty?

If they had just left Trump alone and let him be president without all the investigations they could probably still be carrying out their illegal schemes. Too bad for them. They weren’t expecting pushback cause they were used to the Bushes

“Rep. Brenda Lawrence Backs Down From Impeachment”

The Democrat leadership is using Ms. Lawrence to test the waters on backing down. If the idea falls flat, they’re back to impeachment.

I don’t. Are they voting now? No. Given that I would take everything Dems say with a grain of salt. Dems are obviously putting impeachment on the back burner for a bit and trying to gaslight the situation. It could go either way but we have to assume they will impeach and insist the GOP Senate aggressively support POTUS.
